The Agony and the Ecstasy

Smokey Robinson

[Verse 1]
What's it all about, this crazy love?
How did our two worlds entwine?
How do I fit into your life?
How did you get into mine?
I belong to someone else we know

[Verse 2]
Back when first we met
Oh, we thought for fun
One night together might be nice
Oh, but fun turned into love for both of us
So now we pay forbidden lover's price

[Chorus]
Oh, 'cause love like ours is never, ever free
You pay some agony for the ecstasy (For the ecstasy)
Oh, love like ours is never, ever free
You got to pay some agony for the ecstasy (For the ecstasy)
Oh, oh

[Verse 3]
Nights when you're alone, you know that I
Laid with someone else beside me
Oh, but you love me still, and I love you
You know I would, no matter where I'd be

[Chorus]
Hey, but love like ours is never, ever free
You got to pay some agony for the ecstasy (For the ecstasy)
Oh, love like ours is never, ever free
We got to pay some agony if we wanna have ecstasy (For the ecstasy)
Oh

[Outro]
Hey, got to pay some agony
If we wanna have an ecstasy, yeah
And we need each other desperately, don't we, baby?
And I'll never from you be free, no no

So you'll have to do the leavin' me, yeah
And you'll have to do the leavin' me, oh baby
'Cause I'm gonna pay the agony, yeah
'Cause, oh, lovin' you is ecstasy, that's what it is

And I'm willin' to pay the price, ho
'Cause I'll make any sacrifice, oh yes, I will
And I'll never, never, never, never
Never, never wanna be free

Oh, ecstasy
